Oasis Deck™ is the name of a new solution offered by Benetti which, based on the extraordinary success of the Oasis 40M, is now featured on new models of the Oasis 34m and B.Now 50M and 66M.
Oasis 40M
Based on a specific design request issued in 2017, Benetti launched a 40M yacht last September for the next generation. Having recognized the early signs of a growing trend, driven by a new generation of superyacht owners who wish for a less formal lifestyle, authentically marine-based and blissfully social, Benetti wanted to create something which could go beyond the traditional beach areas, that usually tend to be obstructed by walls and ceilings, thus offering the perfect yacht to set anchor in a bay and immerse into the marine environment. Of the six renowned design studios to submit proposals back in 2017, it was RWD who realized Benetti’s vision and took it even further. The Oasis 40M concept introduced a revolutionary combination of five aft-deck features, so distinctive that the terms “beach club” and “beach area” no longer apply.

Among others Oasis Deck™ features a pool integrated in a flush deck close to the sea and within the social area, an unobstructed 270-degree view off the stern and opening wings, extending the deck close to water but safe from the waves.
B.NOW 66M Oasis beach club
In the wake of the first model’s success, Benetti quickly returned to the studio to collaborate with RWD on a younger sister to expand the Oasis family. The Oasis 34M, smaller and with a completely different engineering package, still offers the same now-famous five features of the Oasis Deck™, even preserving the side-loading tender garage. The Bonetti/Kozerski firm from New York which created the interiors of the 40M, distinguishes the 34M from her big sister with a sportier and more youthful interior theme, a fresh look for the elegant and lofty open-concept spaces onboard. The owner may also choose a less traditional layout, with formal dining in the upper deck skylounge and a more relaxed main deck, furnished with sofas, a TV area and a bar forward.
B.NOW 50M
The B.NOW 50M can now be ordered with an Oasis Deck™, which takes full advantage of the larger canvas. It is a perfect fit for the 50M, even further elaborated into new features: a large shaded american bar and a wellness area for fitness and spa on the lower deck, which can also serve as a dedicated adventure room, with dive racks, kayaks and other equipment.
B.NOW 50M
The Oasis Deck™ has also been adapted into the new B.NOW 66M Oasis, the ultimate expression of Oasis Life and flagship of the Oasis family. As you board the yacht and walk across the platform, you are immediately in contact with the whole space, which includes the huge swimming pool, the extensive fixed sun pads, the full complement of social seating, the upper terrace, the exterior dining and bar, and even the main saloon with an internal cocktail bar. Nearly 50% of the main deck is dedicated to Oasis Life.

“During these last months, the models including the Oasis Deck™ have become a reference to meet the needs of a growing segment, and the concept is so strong that owners of much larger superyachts are fascinated. So far we have already sold 14 Oasis 40M, 3 Oasis 34M, presold before the official presentation of the project, and 6 B.Now 50M with the Oasis Deck™. The philosophy of the Oasis Life goes beyond the line of products and has been adopted throughout the industry. The secret to our success is anticipating trends and interpreting hidden desires, while finding the perfect partners for production and design, forging collaborations that go the distance. It is easy to imagine a future, where, for a growing number of superyacht owners, the essential onboard spaces will include the sun deck, upper deck, bridge deck and the Oasis Deck™,” says Marco Valle, Azimut|Benetti Group CEO.

Italian Daily Nautica reports that 27m Naseem caught fire and later flooded. The incident happened on Thursday the 12th May in Puglia. The Coast Guard tried to put out the fire and rescued three crew members, but unfortunately the yacht sanked. The cause of the fire is unknown and will be investigated. Naseem was delivered by Dominator in 2009. With a beam of 6.6 m and a draft of 2.5 m, she had a GRP hull and GRP superstructure. She was powered by Caterpillar engines of 1800 hp each giving her a maximum speed of 24 knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots. Naseem's maximum range is estimated at 420 nautical miles. The motor yacht could accommodate eight guests across four cabins.Credits: Daily Nautica; Yacht Harbour archive

The shipbuilder Alpha Custom Yachts is a family-owned company recognized for its elegant, unique, and innovative vessels. The brand’s new-build yachts can be completely customized according to the clients preferences. The brand new Spritz 116 might be the perfect example of awe-inspiring features. With five guest staterooms including a full-beam master cabin, it’s hard to beat all the perks of this particular model. There are many benefits to owning a new Alpha Custom Yacht, especially the Spritz 116. Here are the three main features:Huge interior and exterior volumeAlpha Custom Yachts worked with Italian superyacht designer Giorgio Cassetta and naval architect Laurent Giles to create a distinct vessel with an elegant interior layout as well as a well-thought-out exterior space for the Spritz 116. Like many Alpha yachts, the interior of this yacht prioritizes comfort without compromising personal space. The size of the heads and the width of beds in the twin cabins are similar to a 145’ yacht. In the VIP cabins, the beds are king-size, providing plenty of room to move around. This is made possible by an exceptionally wide beam – the molded beam is a rare 26’11” on a yacht of this length. For comparison, the beam of yachts of comparable length is often at least 3 feet less. Aside from the obvious implication it has on volume, the hull design (combined with lightweight composite construction) has also resulted in an extremely shallow draft of 5’8”, which is desirable for cruising in areas like the Bahamas to the Sea of Cortez in Mexico.Alpha Spritz 116 outdoor spaces have several spots available to lay out in full sun or shade. The aft deck features a hydraulically operated platform capable of supporting a tender, an impressive plunge pool that can be covered with teak to serve as a dance floor, an outdoor lounge overlooking the pool, and a stunning outdoor dining area–more on that later. Another spacious lounge with plenty of seating is found on the foredeck, and the 100 sq. m flybridge deck boasts not only lots of space and panoramic views.Enclosed exterior diningFamily-owned shipbuilder Alpha Yachts is known to build its vessels with shared space and family in mind. With that notion, all its yachts feature an extremely well-planned outdoor dining space. The Spritz 116 aft deck includes a vast and well-protected dining area large enough for 12 guests–something that doesn’t often happen on a yacht of its size. The space is enclosed for a pleasant and comfortable outdoor dining experience. The covered alfresco dining space is located forward on the aft deck and connects the outdoor beach club and the interior main salon. It is fitted with a large marble dining table and a portside wet bar. Overhead, the teak ceiling helps wick away moisture and is specially designed to include air conditioning vents, LED lighting, and a surround sound system.Endless customization optionsThe Spritz 116 can be furnished and adapted as you see fit and to your liking. Any specific custom features might be added. For the shipbuilders and designers, “the whole vision…was addressing the needs of people who own those boats, rather than those of the yard – to ignore compromises that are usually accepted to make yachts cost-effective and unnecessarily conservative in style and layout,” Cassetta explains. Key examples are the 7’ 3” ceilings, extensive sound insulation, floating floors, crew cabins with elevated beds, gentle and wide stairs, wide beds, full-size showers and closets, custom paint touches at the waterline and on the radar domes, and so much more. But above all that, there is so much more that can be customized. Alpha Custom Yachts was founded by two brothers, Jorge And Roberto Aboumrad, who recount that their love for the sea started at an early age. They began their journey in the industry over 30 years ago, founding Performance Boats, which is now the largest boat dealer in Mexico. They began to realize that their ideal yacht, one that prioritized connection between friends, family, and the sea, was simply not on the market. They were inspired to take matters into their own hands. Drawing inspiration from actual yacht owners and their needs, they surpassed the limitations of traditional yacht design and forged a new standard of design and engineering for yachts in the 30-meter size range.Denison has long been a leader in the yachting industry with a rich family history dating back to 1948, and the start of Broward Marine in Fort Lauderdale.
